More than 80% of high school students say their goal is to attend a four-year college. But young people are nervous about how to make that dream come true. They are confused about which college to attend, stressed about the college application process and anxiety ridden about how to actually pay for college. They need information about financial aid, scholarships and jobs that help them offset the cost of a higher education.
